& In 1937 Subject's mother was dismissed froa her positioa
and toth she an2 Subject's father begen to feel the pressure of the
purges. Subject's father, allegedly by appealing to
KALIWIN, succeeced in again ecquiring exit visas for them to the
US&. Subject, vio admits that he had become a “good Commmist" ty
then had gotten “thoroughly steeped” in the Cammmist philosopay,
elected to rezain behind in the USSR. An important consideretica,
he states, vas bis desire to camplete his education which he vas
certain he would not be able to @o in the USA for economic ressoms.

h. According to Subject, his feather never lost his American
citizenship. Sudject's mother, however, in 1936 sppiied for and

obtained Soviet citizensGipe necerding be Sukysct, <= attenbir
ined Soviet citizenship “by default” although be vever applied

19:0 he married .
Bina WISSYIVA

whe ves the step-daughter of the well-known Major SSOGOLEV of the
"soviet Proleteriat Regiment”. A son was born to them in Cume il.
Although at this time Subject was assigzed to the constructica of

Decause, as a member of the Mil, this was considered as equivalent
to military service. Nonetheless, in restonse to my’ query, Subject

admitted that this was unusual as his activities were «f a kind vhich - _

were performed by cld vonen particularly cince during tits period,
from October 1941 to September 1942, all able-bodied Soriet males
were drafted into the Soviet exay. During this period Subject lived
in comparstive ease, being assigned to Suzdal and Klin, aad other
towns, According t> Subject, te wore an M:D uniform but vore no
insignia. He admitted that “favored treatrent™ was bestoved upon

him and his fanily when the MD asaisted him in evacuating his first
wife and son fron Moscow in Augist 1941 to teyond the Urals. (His
son by his first wife reportedly died on 11 October 1953 of diabetes. }

k. In September 1942, Subject received an appcintzent to the
Moscow 2nd Militery Irfentry Institute from which he graduated in June

WORD wed cenne chink he cen ate 4 a
M2 ont spon whic gevo the

Infentry. In response to my cvery, Subject again acmitted that this
appointment was highly unusual as his backsround did not lend itsel?
to this, as appointrents were rade out of tre various military
branches, and as this implied that, as a foreimer (American), he was
fully and cormpletel; trusted by the Soviet pimitive orgzas who had
cleared him both for this training and the institute end for promotion
to officer status in the Soviet Army. !

-, 1. Initially he ves sent to Alatev on the Volga, then to Orel
Wisre Le was assigned to the front lines in August 19:3. He was given a
Platoon of. infantry troops in the 415th Infantry Divisien of the
Sovzet Central Front. HSovever, in October 1943 he was wounded; he was

- bit in the left forehead by e Cerman bullet. Ee was operated on in

a field hospital ana then transferred to a Moscow hospital after he
hed recovered sufficiently. Ee was reclessified after bis recovery
ang found suitable to continue in military service wita the limitation
thet ke should not serve on the front lines (goden vtoroi stepeni ).

m™ Because the wound faite? to heal coopletely (he bas a very
obvious scar, with approximately a 1" depression, on his forehead), - .
he "asked" to be assigned to a warmer clirate. The Soviet authorities,
he states, complied and in January 1944 dispatched him to Tbilisi
where he vas placed in a special officer's camp; he ves hospitalized
again, Lad osteomyelitis complications, and ultimately discharged from
the Soviet military forces. Eovever, Subject provided several
contradictory stories as to the date of discharge which at various

 t4meg he indicated occurred in Nay 1944, then in July 19¢h, and even

fin Augest lou. (NOTE: This aspect of Subject's story cothered hie:
as it was obvious to the undersimed that Subject had somewhere become .

- confused in this aspect of his tackground.) 5

nm. Upon his discharge, be was returned to the Moscow area vhere
he vas placed in a rest hon (altkough Subject admitted thet there
really existed no need for this as he bad recovered alreagy prior
to his discharge). In continuing his narration, Subject imitcated
that the rest of his story “sowiis very strange and wbelievable™
but then averred that ‘t was true. te states that, strange as it
appears and despite tre shortage of Soviet men at the time (1944)
he could not "find™ hicsel? a job. Ee went to the MVD which did
offer Lin a job in Veliki Leki on the higkvays with the ScjuzDo:
ekt ; however, he was not civen the job by the officiais
Fespons asi ble for this. As a result, he appealed directly to the
Minister of the HVD who “tried to intercede” in Subi‘ect's behalf.
Allegedly after he was given a full physical examination, he vas told
that he could not te essigmed to the highvey units for reasons
which were not spel sd out w Suaject.

0. Subject then “sought out" work with the Nauchniy Sovet with
no luck, Ee ultimately chteine’i a job with the Moscow Sovet in the
Moscow Soviet Senicr Library (sic). In Novenber 19-4, at 8 salary
of $00 rubles, Subject began working in the field of “information
on municipal works—-higiway construction, architecture, saritation,
etc. Fis inmediate supervisor vas (fnu) LIZ=ZDSV, the bead of
infermation departzent of the Pydro-knergy Project. Subject admitted,
in reply to the undersiged's uuery, that his work Was‘ “unusual” :
for several reasons. First, he was paid a salary which was unusually ©
high end out of lire vith his qualifications. Secondly, though
paid a salary for a full-time job and position, ne actuzily worked @
& part-time basis and was eble to come and so almost as he vished.
His work also included working on abstracts and translatiocs from
English to Russian, primarily in the field of dams, dan coustruction,
and hydraulics.

pe In June 19:9 Subject states that be was dismissed from the
foregoing position after he was given the explanation that the flow of
literature from the USA, which Subject was translating, hsd decressed.
In actual fact, Subject states, he was being “purged” becamse he vas
@ Jew. Ee then found a job as a laboratory assistant in a concrete
plant where he worked from July 19:9 to 23 February 1950. Because
be did not like that job, Subject states he wrote to Stalin personally
as a result of vhich, within less than 4 weeks, he was offered 4-5 _
different jobs. The positicns vere offered to him by the Moscow
Comittee of the CP to vhas “Stalin had Zorvarded the letter". In -
reply to my query, Subject acmitted that he was not concerned that, .
by vriting to Stalin, he vould come to the attention of the Soviet
punitive organs, MVD/MGB, which vould undertake to investigate his
case. Accordingly, on 1 April 1950 Subject waa given a job as an

because he "had falie> blindly in love” with her. (NOTE: This aspect
of Subject's story ¢isturbed t'n very much. He was uswe of binsel*,

obvious that Subject was less than frank enc open aboct this aspect |
of his beckgrouné. is narratica did not sound convincing to Subject

Bose MINKINA,

whos he married only in late 195% when their soa was elready vell om
the way. MIWEINA's parents exd faxily were very etrongly opposed t>
the marriage because the parents held responsicie party positions and
because MINZINA’s brother held a sensitive position with the Soviet
electronics and aviation industries. A sei ves born to Subject and

Marxism-Leninism an? continosd his studies for three or more yearte
Though be registered for the evening sessions, he deveted a good
portion of his days to study. As & result, Subject sgain admitted
to the undersigned that be actually was in a unique position of being
able to do alrost as be "wished and desired” although ostensibly be
was a full-time exployee of the Bawman District Road Derartzent. Wnile
a student at the Institute of Marxisr-Leninisa, Sudject and his wite
began subzitting spplications for a visa Ww visit Suoject's parents
in the USA. In actual fact, Subject states, bis real purpose in
applying for the viss vas to *defect” upoa his arrival in the USA.
In February 1955 Subject states that be ves "fired" from his job
with the Bauman District because of “political unreliability”. Hevever,
Subject admitted to the undersigned that the real reason for dismisse:

must have been otherwise as, had he actually been disnissed for
“political unreliability”, ke would not have been able to continue
his studies at the Institute cf Mercisn-Leninisn.

8. Because Subject had commmicated to his father, usin«
“hidden rhrases" in their letters ts each other, about his wish to
leave the USSR, Subject's father arrived in toe USSR in 1YHT in
order, Subject states, "to estebliss at first hand for hirsel’"
vhether Subject really wisned to “cefect to the 5A". Sudfect's
father revained in tae USSR for e total of 10 days. As a result
of his father's visit, Subject chanzed his testics and bezan to

fact, he spent 1-2 days at work, spent the rest of his tine at hom,
and cevoted most of his time and energy to the studies at the
Institute of Marxism-Leninism. Sis salary continued et 1200 rubles

uw. In-August 1958 his work came to en end. Generally he
provided a contardictory accowit in this respect. Initially he :
stated that the position had been eliminated but then chanced this
story to state that he resiged in August 1956 as he voul: have had
to begin devoting his full tine to the work. In any case, his
resigzation generally ccinc’ded with his completion of stud‘tes at
the Institute of Marvisn-leniniss. ‘Thereafter, and wil his

Ronetheless, he states that be succeeded in earning no less than
about 1100 rubles rer rauth by working as a free lance trenslator

kK. Srdect te evare that the story of his “irmigration” to :

Pee USA is also veak. Ze tried to explain this avay by stating that

ke "got cut by mistake”, that he was permitted to 2 “tn hide the
Soviet shame swrroméing the Cuban crisis", that "someone had
comdttec ex error’, etc. He admitted that there exists no other
explanation as to why the Soviet goverment vould heve permitted
him to leeve the 0553 as, in the eyes of the Soviet ecversment, he
wes a full flecze? and responsible Soviet citizen who had no
genuine or legitizate clain to American citizenship. 43 a result,
Subject is miusuaily sensitive to this topic.

5. COSCLISICN:

a In the opinion of the undersigzed, Subject shoul’ act be
consideres for either AESCRE2N cr AZ=XFLORS despite tke fect both
tis English and Russie ere native.

be Cm the basis of the interview, the mdereigned feels that,
Subject is lees then frenk and that be is prevaricating. Moreover,
there exist imnurerable iters in Subfect's tale which are indicative
both that he worked as e recruited ecent cf the Koa (acd its
predecessor organizations’ fn the USSR ard that he left the mogP only
through end with the intercession of tae FCB

6. It ebould be unterscom! that because of the unique exd sensitive
cover used by the umersicned, po attempt was made to resolve the various
ccatradictions, to challense Subject on any of his statenents, or to
pursse certain points of their logical conclusicn. The foregoing was
Odteined in the fcra cf en interview and mo real attempt could be made,
given the cover, to delve nore deeply into the suspicious aspects of
Subject's backercund.

and beezuse 1 was in a rush to leave the country, I at-ived amar on 2
Soviet foreign passport. In the 0. S. Exbdassy in Ezoseew I filled in si-
